Pressure
Cooking Chicken Legs
With a cost of around $2/serving
and a prep and cooking time of 20 minutes--
pressure cooking is worth experimenting with.
If you want a fast cheap meal
that tastes great then it's worth it to purchase
a pressure cooker. Since they are so energy
efficient they will pay for themself over time
so it's worth it to get a good one. This chicken
thigh was cooked in a pressure cooker at 15
psi's for only 8 minutes. It was then dried
off with a paper towel and seared in bacon fat
to produce a crispy skin.
Vegetables
Pearl onions were boiled for 4
minutes in salted water then quickly refreshed
to allow easy removal of skin. Bacon slab was
cut into 1/4 inch slivers and sauteed in a non-stick
pan. The bacon was set on a paper towel and
the onions were browned in the bacon fat along
with a small amount petit (frozen peas). Bacon
fat was later used to sear the chicken leg.
Sauce
The sauce used here was left over
from a previous pressure cooked meal: Osso
Buco with Red Wine Sauce
